Kansas City, Missouri-based NovaSTAR Financial Inc. has received word that Fitch Ratings placed its NovaSTAR Mortgage subsidiary on a negative ratings watch.
Fitch in a press statement said, “the ratings watch reflects the challenging operating environment in the subprime mortgage market and uncertainties regarding NFI’s profitability. As a result of the company’s recent challenges, NFI’s ability to fund its ongoing servicing operation and maintain servicing quality could come under pressure.”
